AB  - The continuous industrial chemical processes are typically designed through steady-state conditions. Nevertheless, there is evidence that processes can be intensified by applying optimized forced periodic operation. Possible improvements in reactor performances caused by the implementation of forced periodic operation (FPO) can be successfully evaluated by applying a nonlinear frequency response (NFR) analysis, before experimental investigation. In this study, we will present the results of two case studies based on heterogeneously catalyzed methanol synthesis in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The first is an isothermal case, and the second is a more complicated and more realistic, non-isothermal case.

AB  - Methanol synthesis from synthesis gas with heterogeneous Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts in an isothermal gradientless reactor is described. In a theoretical study, the potential of forced periodic operation (FPO) for improving reactor performance in terms of methanol production rate and methanol yield is explored. The approach is based on a detailed kinetic model and combines nonlinear frequency response (NFR) analysis with rigorous numerical multi-objective optimization. Optimal steady-state operation is compared with optimal forced periodic operation for a given benchmark problem with and without inert nitrogen in the feed. Further, the significant influence of the saturation capacity of the solid phase on the dynamic behavior in response to step changes and periodic input modulations is studied.

AB  - In this two-part paper a comprehensive study of the potential to improve performance criteria of a methanol synthesis reactor through forced periodical operations is presented. The study uses the Nonlinear Frequency Response method, a powerful analytical and approximate tool which gives an answer whether and under which conditions certain periodic operation would lead to improvement of process performance. To demonstrate the method, isothermal and isobaric methanol synthesis in a lab-scale CSTR is considered. In Part I, the analysis is performed for single input modulations. Partial pressures of each reactant in the feed stream and the total inlet volumetric flow-rate are considered as possible modulated inputs. The results show that modulations of single inputs essentially do not provide potential for significant improvements. In Part II, the study will be extended to analysis of periodic operations with simultaneous modulations of two inputs and conditions offering significant performance enhancements will be identified.

AB  - The analysis of the potential to improve performance of a methanol synthesis reactor through forced periodical operations by Nonlinear Frequency Response method is presented. The methanol synthesis in an isothermal and isobaric lab-scale CSTR is considered. First, the analysis was performed for single input modulations (in Part I), which showed that significant improvements can't be achieved. Here, the study is extended to analysis of simultaneous modulations of two inputs. All possible input combi-nations (6 cases) are analysed and the optimal forcing parameters, maximizing the time-average metha-nol production, were determined. For all combinations the improvement is possible, but for some cases it is not significant. The highest improvement is predicted for simultaneous modulation of the inlet partial pressure of CO and the inlet volumetric flow rate. This case, for which it is possible to achieve up to 33.51 % of methanol production, is analysed it detail and optimized using multi-objective optimization.

AB  - Traditionally, methanol is produced in large amounts from synthesis gas with heterogeneous Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts under steady state conditions. In this paper, the potential of alternative forced periodic operation modes is studied using numerical optimization. The focus is a well-mixed isothermal reactor with two periodic inputs, namely, CO concentration in the feed and total feed flow rate. Exploiting a detailed kinetic model which also describes the dynamics of the catalyst, a sequential NLP optimization approach is applied to compare optimal steady state solutions with optimal periodic regimes. Periodic solutions are calculated using dynamic optimization with a periodicity constraint. The NLP optimization is embedded in a multi-objective optimization framework to optimize the process with respect to two objective functions and generate the corresponding Pareto fronts. The first objective is the methanol outlet flow rate. The second objective is the methanol yield based on the total carbon in the feed. Additional constraints arising from the complex methanol reaction and the practical limitations are introduced step by step. The results show that significant improvements for both objective functions are possible through periodic forcing of the two inputs considered here.

AB  - Methanol is an essential primary chemical in the chemical industry. Further, there is a growing interest in using methanol also for chemical energy storage. Excess electrical wind or solar energy can be converted to hydrogen and react with CO and CO2 from biogas or waste streams to methanol. Suitable kinetic models are required for designing such processes. Established kinetics need to be extended to account for strongly varying input ratios of H2, CO, and CO2 in such applications leading to the need for dynamic process operation. Kinetic models for methanol synthesis accounting for dynamic changes of the catalyst morphology were proposed recently [1]. For the implementation and evaluation of the dynamic operation, a novel reactor concept, incorporating a micro-berty reactor, is established. The configuration allows the modulation of single and multiple input parameters simultaneously, such as partial pressure, total flow-rate, and total pressure. Periodic variation of the inputs results in fluctuating outputs. For the analysis of these changes, an online mass spectrometer (MS) and a micro-gas chromatograph (GC) are implemented for time-resolved concentration profiles, as well as the analysis of collected samples of multiple fluctuation periods. A set of dynamic experiments is determined by optimal experimental design that improves the parameter sensitivity by solving optimal control problems to identify an optimal parameter set. Additionally, it is analyzed what kind of additional measurement is required for further improvement of the identifiability of the kinetic model [2]. The nonlinear dynamic behavior of the methanol synthesis can be exploited by a forced periodic modulation of different feed streams and total flow-rate (separately of simultaneously) that result in improvements of the time-average output, in comparison to the steady-state process, concerning different objective functions. The nonlinear frequency response (NFR) analysis [3] is used to estimate suitable input variations and the corresponding optimal dynamic parameters (forcing frequency, amplitudes, and phase difference). The NFR method was already applied in various cases [4–6], and it represents promising starting points for rigorous dynamic optimization. The selection of the objective functions for single- and multi-objective optimization of forced periodic operations is critically discussed.

AB  - We used the nonlinear frequency response (NFR) method in order to identify forced periodic conditions under which the acetic acid anhydride hydrolysis (chosen as a test reaction) can be favorably performed in a CSTR. Based on the results of the theoretical analysis, experimental investigations were performed using a lab-scale reactor exposed to two fluctuating inlet streams (water and acetic anhydride) with adjustable flow-rates, which enables modulation of the inlet reactant concentrations or/and total flow-rates in a flexible manner. The concentration of acetic acid formed is measured in the reactor online and used to monitor the process dynamics. Averaged values of the product outlet stream serve to validate the mean values predicted by NFR analysis and to evaluate the potential of this flexible forcing strategy. Recently we started to analyze both theoretically and experimentally the potential of applying a forced periodic operation to improve the methanol synthesis from CO, CO2 and H2 using the conventional Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts. This work is based on a recently published detailed model of this reaction, which is capable to quantify the rates under dynamic conditions (C. Seidel, A. Jörke, B. Vollbrecht, A. Seidel-Morgenstern, A. Kienle, Chem. Eng. Sci. 175 (2917) 130–138).

AB  - In this work, the NFR method is implemented for evaluation of possible improvement for the reaction of methanol synthesis by hydrogenation of CO and CO2, using a standard Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst. For start, a forced periodically operated isothermal continuous-stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is considered. A simplified (lumped) kinetic model of methanol synthesis with 14 parameters which were estimated from the results of an extensive experimental investigation is used. The NFR method is performed for evaluation of possible increase of methanol production by modulating the mole fractions of CO and CO2 in the feed stream, as well as their simultaneous modulation. The necessary asymmetrical second order frequency response functions correlating the methanol production with the modulated inputs are derived and the forcing parameters leading to improvement of the reactor performance are determined. The results of the NFR analysis will further be used for rigorous optimisation of the forced periodic operations and planning the best experimental scenarios. The final step will be experimental investigation and confirmation on a laboratory scale reactor.

abstract = "In this work, the NFR method is implemented for evaluation of possible improvement for the reaction of methanol synthesis by hydrogenation of CO and CO2, using a standard Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst. For start, a forced periodically operated isothermal continuous-stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is considered. A simplified (lumped) kinetic model of methanol synthesis with 14 parameters which were estimated from the results of an extensive experimental investigation is used. The NFR method is performed for evaluation of possible increase of methanol production by modulating the mole fractions of CO and CO2 in the feed stream, as well as their simultaneous modulation. The necessary asymmetrical second order frequency response functions correlating the methanol production with the modulated inputs are derived and the forcing parameters leading to improvement of the reactor performance are determined. The results of the NFR analysis will further be used for rigorous optimisation of the forced periodic operations and planning the best experimental scenarios. The final step will be experimental investigation and confirmation on a laboratory scale reactor.",
